From July through October, the garden is expected to produce more than 300 pounds of fresh produce, harvested weekly and donated to the Vernon Township Food Pantry, part of the Northern Illinois Food Bank network, to help address food insecurity throughout Lake County.All workshops are complimentary, and advance registration through Eventbrite is required as space is limited. Participants will receive complimentary seed kits and tote bags while supplies last, and guests may even have the opportunity to meet Keenam Jax, Mellody Farm's beloved furry farm ambassador, who will make special appearances throughout the series." } ] } ] ```
